Location Intelligence in Amalgamation of Floating Solar PV & Electric Vehicle

With the ever-growing demand of Electric Vehicles (EV), the demand of the EV charging stations (EVCS) and energy is also increasing. The reason for switching to EV is to reduce CO2 emission, put a check on pollution and open doors for sustainable development. While most of the EV Charging stations are sourcing energy from Grids (i.e. coal burning) they cannot be considered Environment friendly. Use of Solar panel & Wind turbine produced energy comes with its own challenges like availability of land & Transmission of electricity. Thus, the paper aims to rectify the energy crisis by suggesting an alternate clean energy system i.e. Floating Solar photovoltaic (FSPV) to power Electric Vehicles (EV) considering various location challenges and transmission challenges. A neoteric hybrid model is suggested by making use of SAR, spatial (GIS) data, potential of Floating PV cells, to setup new locations of EV charging stations sourcing clean electricity from FSPVs or for transmission of the energy to existing EVCS.
